I would also agree with you, Scott, that feeling that you need to have a rigid rule of getting up at a certain time is unrealistic for many people in different phases of life. I personally need a minimum of 7 hours of sleep to function well. And when I don't get that time, I need my afternoon power nap. But the power nap is only a cheap substitute for 7-8 hours of deep restful sleep. It seems to me that different people have different capacities when it comes to the amount of sleep they get.

I try to find a time which works okay both for weekdays and for weekends, when partying, travelling or something else might be on the menu. Right now, I don't have any classes before 10, so I usually sleep between 2 AM and 8 AM, which works very well. I find that this has been extremely useful in cutting down on sleeping time and yet newer feeling that I don't get enough sleep. In other words, I don't really think the inconsistency in your method is very good, although I do of course do it myself sometimes, recognising the fact that sometimes getting enough sleep is indeed more important than most other things.

I love early-rising just because at that time , we can work efficiently, get my MIT done ASAP and I can do them with high concentration. So I try to sleep at 10 pm every night as I can. Sometimes, I work really well from 0:00 AM to 2:00 AM. But I'll wake up at about 9 AM unless I'll feel terrible, this feeling almost kills my day. I'll sleep later 3 or 4 hours. Let me guess 8 hours vs 5 hours + 4 hours. You lose your day and time :) Yup.

I recently spent 4 hours researching how to hack sleep most effectively from all the studies that were out there and came up with the 3 key sleep hacks that collated what almost all the studies agreed on and were actually applicable. Some of it is surprising but backed up by over 50 years of research.

I think humans are designed to wake up later in the day, but agree with you that sleeping at least 8 hours is absolutely crucial if you want to be at your best. Speaking from someone who just got 8 hours of sleep (which normally doesn't happen), it's amazing to see the difference in my attitude and outlook. I just feel better in every way, even though there are plenty of things to be down or indifferent about. The challenge is getting to bed at a decent time, which can only be done through self-discipline. I personally do not believe that waking up early is ideal.

Luckily, I only need 6 hours or so to sleep, but shall bear overall sleep in mind while testing the "early rising" theory.
